Meet Tammy.
She's running around and playing chase.
She's living the fox life now.
This little fox got hurt.
But luckily people from an animal sanctuary found her,
they were animal rescuers!
It looks like something's wrong with its back hips.
There was still hope.
They worked really hard to make her feel better again.
Good girl.
They fed her,
and cleaned her up,
...and kept her warm and safe.
About 3 days later, she started cracking open her eyes a little bit.
It looks so cute when she opens her eyes! She was like —
Tammy really wanted to get better.
But she was still too weak to walk.
She couldn’t go back to the wild until she was feeling like herself again.
She trusted her rescuers to help her.
There you go, darling.
She knew she needed help. She knew she needed us.
And every day, she was getting a little stronger.
When she was able to actually stand on her own,
that was just an amazing sense of accomplishment for all of us.
Pretty soon, Tammy started walking.
She looks like she's going to be okay.
But the rescuers thought that Tammy needed one more thing, before she was ready for the wild.
Meet Todd the fox!
It wasn’t until she was out with Todd
that she became the wild fox that she was meant to always be.
Just like Tammy,
Todd had been hurt.
But thanks to the SAME rescuers,
he was a happy little fox pup now.
And the two of them LOVED being together.
Tammy and Todd would chase after each other. They look like they were having fun.
Tammy and Todd had both gotten so healthy,
it was time to release them back into the wild.
Together!
But they weren’t sure how the foxes would feel about being back in the woods.
Would they be happy to be home?
Or would they be too scared to leave the rescuers?
There was only one way to find out.
First, they opened Todd’s cage.
Bye-bye, Todd!
Then, they opened Tammy’s cage.
It was incredibly special to see that split second of Tammy shooting out of the crate.
She's so happy to be back into the wild.
From having something wrong with her back legs, now to running, happily, as a wild fox.
She's a really sweet fox.
If you see an animal in trouble, don't try to rescue them by yourself.
Ask an adult family member for help.
